The sheep – or shall I say sheep-wolves, sheepish in their thinking but wolf-like and feral in their behaviour – that follow such leaders may not recognize this as a PR job and accept this as their leaders’ authentic thinking.

Thus, would such politically correct PR work trigger an Islamic reformation movement as an unintended consequence, just as the rise of Jihadists in Western democracies was triggered as an unintended consequence of politically correct refusal of Western politicians to notice Jihadist thinking and behaviour?

Or am I being too much of an optimist?

Tue, 16 Sep 2014 18:03:53 +0000http://www.crethiplethi.com/?p=31770#comment-35084While every religion has its own history of misdeeds, Islam’s is ongoing now, today. Its “teachings” undergird and create the social acceptance/submission within their community of all sorts of acts we consider grossly negative.

Islamic leaders (whoever they are) may claim ISIS, Hamas, Boko Haram, etc. are heretics, but there is ample evidence that activities of these killers are getting under the table support out of Islamic countries; the Hamas/Iran link is well known. It is also known that Islam teaches the hatred of Jews and Christians and that it is ok for Muslims to seek domination over others and lie about it if their purpose is served.

That said, what should be the response of the non-Islamic world? Do we react every time another horrendous act takes place then wait for the next? Wouldn’t the world be better served in the long run to say to the Islamic “leaders” that they have a problem and need to somehow come up with a resolution – that the rest of the world is tired of dealing with their calamitous “religion”?

However, this will only begin when we abandon our denial of the obvious.

Sun, 06 Jul 2014 21:55:40 +0000http://www.crethiplethi.com/?p=31678#comment-34979Excellent article (and thanks for the link). This is a very good roundup of what’s been going on in recent days, and of course the abysmal coverage of the media.

Just a minor caveat – Shelley Dadon is not an Israeli Arab. As far as I know she’s from a Jewish family, from Afula.
